LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Road to Prosperitr.

Among the things necessary for Sacra-
mento to do to make herself self-inviting
to the new era of prosperity, for which her
people are all looking and desiring is to
improve the city's appearance in building
streets and lawns as much and as rapidly
as possible. There has not been, thus far,
much pride displayed in the construction
of the business houses of the city, although
there are few commendable exceptions.
These deserve all praise, and should re-
ceive public commentator and the utmost
encouragement. 1t is not infrequent that
the people upon a street or block desire to
have it graded and improved, but, under
the law, a few old fogies can effectively
block the wheels to progress by interposing
their protests, and thus the residents of a
locality are prevented from beautifying
their neighborhood and increasing the
value of their property because Of the I'M
fortunate survival OF certain members of
the moss back family.
Until the spirit of enterprise and de-
termination becomes sufficiently strong in
a community to find some way to get
around these obstacles to public improve
ments and to push forward without regard
to them, the commercial prosperity and
growth of such city can be readily meas
ured with very short yard-stick, and the
convenient pasturage for COWS will con-
time in its streets. There is an awakening
spirit at the present time for general i'm
provement in the Capital city, with view
to making it what it should be, and what
from natural advantages it NAV be-the
most beautiful city in the State. 1t is TO be
hoped that this spirit of enterprise will
rapidly augment, and that whosoever
would retard it by raising moss backed pro-
tests will be compelled to step aside and
give place TO others who are able to breathe
the air of live present, free from the
sitting atmosphere of a dead past

CRUSHED BY A sNOwsHED.
Fatal Accident at Tamarack Station-A
brakeman Killed.

Brakeman Killed.
About 1l:3O Sunday night a special
freight train of % cars, caboose and two
engines, was coming west in good order,
when at Tamarack station, about three
miles above Cisco, the switch rail broke as
the first locomotive reached it, and both
locomotives and six cars loaded with sheep
left the rails. The engines struck the sup
ports of the snowshed, crushing them. and
the weight of eight or ten feet OF snow on
the roof of the structure caused 1t 10 col
laDse. about so feet of ii falling i'll upon
the locomotives and cars. VIM. L. Knee
land, one of the brakemen, was struck by
the falling debris and c,ushed beneath 1t.
Henry Kern, engineer of locomotive No.
1913, and C. C.. Brown, engineer OF No. 20,
were both slightly hurt. Their tiremen
escaped virtually uninjured, as did also
two tramps who had been stealing ride,
though one of the latter was caught by the
debris and received cut on the head.
Information of the accident was not re-
ceiYed here until after midnight, but as
soon as Superintendent Wright was no.
titled he ordered large force of men with
a wrecking train to the scene. The body
vi Tic Va "N1 AOH@
after several hours, work, and it was evil
dent from the injuries it had received that
death had been instantaneous. Mr.. Knee
land was the son of John Kneeland, for
many years a well-known resident of
Truckee, but now living with his family at
Colfax. Miss Addie Kneeland, sister of
the deceased, has been attending school in
this city. There was much regret EXPIRE ssed
by railroad men yesterday at the fate of the
unfortunate brakeman, who was greatly
liked by all his associates. His remains
were taken to Colfax for interment.
Tamarack station is an unlucky place,
many railroad accidents having occurred
there, some of them being very serious.
Engineer Kern, who had the head engine
at the time of the accident, has been I'M
fortunate, and yet fortunate, having been
in three mishaps, but getting through them
without serious injury.
The snOw-shed caught two of the cars of
sheep when it fell, and crushed them in.
Nearly all of the sheep in the first car were
killed, and several os those in the second
car also.
The energetic work OF the force engaged
in clearing away the wreck resulted in the
track being free about P. NJ, and the west
bound express train. which should have ar
rived here at yesterday morning, came
On, reaching the city about o'clock this
morning.

Physicians have Found Out

That communicating and foreign element
in the blood, developed by indigestion, is
the cause of rheumatism. This settles upon
the sensitive sub-cutaneous covering of the
muscles and ligaments of the joints, caus-
ing constant and shifting pain, and aggre-
eating as calcareous, chalky deposit
which produces stiffness and distortion of
the joints. No fact which experience has
demonstrated in regard to Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has stronger evidence to sup
port than this, namely, that this medicine
of comprehensive uses checks the formid-
able and atrocious disease, nor is it less
positively established that it is preferable
to the poisons often used to arrest it, since
the medicine contains only salutary ingre-
dents. 1t is also signal remedy for ma
larial fevers, constipation, dyspepsia, kid

AMERICAN AGRICULTURisTs.
Harmony of Action in All Branches Look
ing Towards Purity of Products.


ing Towards Purity of Products.
The National Agricultural and Dairy
mems Convention met year ago and
adopted plans to protect pure butter, at the
same time soliciting the aid of the wine in
| dustry of California. They adopted the
plan of the Green bill relating to pure
wines, and owing TO their great influence
in many States were enabled to take their
e.bill out of the hands of the Wavs and
| Means Committee and secure passage
through the Agricultural Committee This
| plan may yet be necessary 10 the success of
the wine bill, but at the next session tie
Ways and Means Committee may be favor
able to such measures. Meanwhile, the
Association has held another Convention
in New York and shown that they do not
forget the vine-growers, nor their assist
ance last winter, by passing the following
resolutions by unanimous vote:
WHEREAS This Convention of the American
Agricultural and Dairy Association desires to
express its interest in and sympathy with all
branches of agricultural industries, especially
that of grape culture and its products, and COM
mends all efforts to secure purity and whole
someness in those products and whereas, we
desire to extend words of encouragement to all
individuals and organizations working for such
objects; therefore be it
Resolved, That this Association cordially ap-
proves the organization of the National Viii
cultural Association and greets it as a co-worker
in the development of American industries, and
hereby extend it our hearty sympathy and ap
prevail; and
Resolved, That the efforts of said Association
to secure national legislation to protect the
purity of American Wines as evidenced by the
bills introduced by it into Congress to check the
manufacture and sale of spurious wines. and to
protect pure wines of the grape from contami-
nation with whisky, meets with our hearty ap-
prevail, and it is the sense OF this Association
that it is the duty of Congress to take prompt
and favorable action upon such legislation and
Resolred. That we commend the earnest and
able efforts of Charles A. Wetmore, the Presi-
dent of the National Viticutural Association
and the other officers and members of the same,
to elevate the standard of purity in the products
of American vineyards through legislative ac-
ton and otherwise, and deeply regret the ina
bility of Mr.. Wetmore to be present and partici-
pate in the deliberations of this committee.

a Strange Prescriptive Right.

Some days ago John Breuner, the owner
of the old Dexter Stables building, which
was recently destroyed by fire, appeared
before the City Trustees and asked to have
the brick wall running north and south
between j T. Stoll' and the Dexter Stables
condemned. Mr.. Breuner says that he has
had the plans prepared for fine three
story brick building with fine modern
front, which structure would cost over
$4,000 and be an ornament to K street.
Upon examination, however, he found
that the wall above referred to was in such
condition that it would not be safe
to use, and that he could not go on
with the improvements unless it was
taken down and a new foundation built.
The wall stands entirely upon Mr..
Breuner's land, it is stated, but the timbers
supporting the roof of Stolrs building
rests on his (Breuner's wall, and that the
wall cannot be taken down unless Mr..
Stoll secures his building, which he does
not seem disposed to do, claiming that he
has q prescriptive right TO make Mr..
Breuner hold up one side of his old shed
roof. 1t will be great pity if this atti-
tude of his neighbor should compel Mr..
Breuner to abandon the construction of the
fine building for which he has plans pre-
pared, as the city has too few such business
blocks, and decidedly too many such in
dividuals who are willing to interpose
their own short-sighted interests against
the improvement and prosperity of the

The following communication from E.
HAYES was read and placed on file: " l
hereby submit to your honorable Board,
for your investigation, an improved system
of erecting fire-proof buildings which l
have invented, and reduced that invention
to practice. Ny system consists principally
of perforated sheet metal, nailed on SUBJ
stantial frame work, on which l put first
class Portland-cement mortar, giving it a
fine finish. | now nail my sheet-metal
lathing on the inside, and use common
